Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted substantial research interest due to their relatively easy fabrication and the rapid increase in their power conversion efficiency (PCE), which now exceeds 25.7%. The increasing PCE of PSCs, developed thanks to extensive research, makes commercialisation prospects very promising . However, a desirable combination of high PCE, low fabrication costs, large-scale fabrication and long-term stability in comparison to silicon solar cells will be required for PSC commercialisation to begin. Such progress will require experimental and theoretical research efforts, as well as advances in the design and fabrication of PSCs that can enable experimental breakthroughs.
The scope of this Special Issue is to highlight the latest progress, challenges, and future directions for perovskite solar cell technologies and applications. This Special Issue also aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to PSCs' theory, design, modelling, and fabrication.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- PSC device characterisation and engineering;
- organic and perovskite solar cells fabrication;
- design and modelling devices;
- modelling of materials for hybrid perovskite and organic solar cells;
- fundamental physics of perovskite materials;
- interface engineering of PSCs;
- PSCs processing improvements;
- large scale fabrication of PSCs;
- opto-electronic properties of perovskite semiconductors;
- device optimisation;
- emerging characterisation techniques.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
